Uh, how do others feel about this?  I wanted to get this information to
all our supported releases as soon as possible, rather than waiting for
PG 16 and for people to upgrade.  To me it seems the chapter renumbering
is worth that benefit.

I'd maybe accept having it back-patched to v15 on that basis but not any further.

But I agree that our general behavior is to only apply this scope of update of the documentation to HEAD.
